Patti Boulaye

Tue 4th - Sat 8th March

Award-winning singer and musical theatre star Patti
Boulaye presents her autobiographical show in which she
tells her life through songs that have influenced her and that she
has sung as a West End leading lady.

It is a trip down memory lane for this very popular performer.
Patti made her West End debut in the musical Hair. She
featured in Two Gentlemen of Verona and her first starring
role was as Yum Yum in The Black Mikado. Her recording of
the show was described as "the performance against which all
others must now be judged. It is one of those remarkable
interpretations that makes all others pale and unsatisfactory by
comparison."

After Patti's starring role in Bisi, Daughter of the
River, said to be the biggest grossing African Movie ever
made, she came to prominence as a singer winning the British ITV
talent show New Faces. Patti's victory led to appearances
on stage, film and television, including the starring role in
The Music Machine, Carmen in Carmen Jones (The
Old Vic and World tour) and Royal Command Performances. She also
had her own series, The Patti Boulaye Show on Channel
Four.

In 2003, Patti produced her West End musical Sun Dance,
for which she wrote all the music. Patti has released 9 albums and
25 singles to date. She is the founder and President of the charity
'Support for Africa', which has built 5 clinics in rural
Africa.
